| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The plant pathogens of the genus Phytophthora, which are known to infect important crops and cause enormous damage, use mating hormones to perform sexual reproduction. With the aim of establishing the molecular basis of this biological phenomenon, we aimed to identify hormone receptors and biosynthetic enzymes. Biochemical approaches using fluorescent probes, etc. have not been successful due to the instability or low expression of proteins. Therefore, searching for receptors and biosynthetic genes by transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq have performed, resulting in the finding several candidate genes. Experiments such as gene knockdown are in progress to identify the receptors and biosynthetic enzymes.
